My hands are broken And time is going on and on, it goes, forever (how long?) So I got high and lived all that life that I have taken all for granted [Chorus] Promise me you'll try To leave it all behind Because I've elected hell Been lying to myself Why have I gone blind? Live another life You [Verse 2] The only way out is letting your guard down And never die forgotten And forgive me my love I stand here all alone and I can see the bottom [Chorus] Promise me you'll try To leave it all behind Because I've elected hell Been lying to myself Why have I gone blind? Live another life You
I found Breaking Benjamin back in 04' on some free Halo 2 theme for windows media player. Not only was it a bad ass Halo Themed player skin but it also came with "Blow me Away" ever since that I was hooked.
I can actually apply this to my life. Because of the path I'd chosen, it has always required me to leave behind all of my friends, memories, and anything that at the time felt dear to me. This song is about leaving everything behind because of what path you choose to take. As much as you regret it, you know it's right. You know it must be done. That is why this song brings me to tears.
and i like it when he says "promise me you will try to leave it all behind 'cause i've elected hell been lying to myself,why have i gone blind? live another life"
iCameAsARoman Nope. Not kidding. I wanted to be down in the pit, Ben was just so freaking sexy and was not at all what I expected. I would love to meet him in person rather than just SEE him in person.
Just like different because that song is very old. i wouldn't expect him to do that song out of all of his other songs. especially diary of jane. Did he get really higher pitched when he did the "Yoouuuu" part near the end?
Not really, not that I noticed anyways. There was a more gruffness about the "Youuuuu" that send chills down my spine, and I'm sad that I don't get the same reaction when hearing the recording.
I am dealing with an issue and my music is the only thing that has stoped me from killing myself. Breaking Benjamin is the only reason I have not done it
How have I not heard this song before?!?! Been listening to Breaking Benjamin for years, just never owned any of their full albums. This song kicks major ASS! I can't think of a more powerful singer than Ben Brumley. Wish they'd get their shit together and get back to making more music.... :(
This song is so astronomically good I don't even know what to do... except for listen to it again. And again. And AGAAAAAAIIIINNN! (And sing along with it)
Reaching out to everything you've ever known, to everyone you've ever loved, to everything you've ever believed in, only to be betrayed and abandoned. Each time, you speak to another part of the world which has left you frozen in the darkest depths of despair. For a moment, it sounds like hope, but then, hope is shattered, and you find yourself alone. Why have I gone blind? Live another life. You.
There is nothing like the first time you hear this song, and it's on a long, double-laned highway in a good car with a good sound system. I keep trying to remember what it was like when I first heard it. Obviously the same song, but somehow not as incredible.
Loves agony Love.. which quickly arrests the gentle heart.. Love, whispered to my soul yet my haste had it depart.. Love, which pardons no beloved from loving, took me so strongly with delight.. In a world of demons, you were an angel, so far yet your words gave light.. Now.. I seem to be forsaken by time yet your excepting love, it still abandons me not.. though I dwell here, a ghost feeling only forgot.. This love, now hides within my dreams.. as merely a thought.. - Andrew Fredette
My favorite part is this song is when he goes " Forgive me my love, I stand here all alone and I can see the bottom " But the whole song is an awesome song. ")
You guys are awesome and really wish you would get back together and show up some of the bands like Evans blue, cold, shinedown etc.... Jk I love all y'alls music. Come back please
The only way out is letting your guard down and never die forgotten (I know) Forgive me my love I stand here all alone And I can see the bottom Promise me you'll try, to leave it all behind 'Cause I've elected hell, lying to myself Why have I gone blind? Live another life
You Breaking Benjamin My hands are broken and time is going on and on It goes forever (how long) So I got high and lived all that life I have taken all for granted Promise me you'll try to leave it all behind 'Cause I've elected hell Lying to myself Why have I gone blind ? Live another life You The only way out is letting your guard down And never die forgotten (I know) Forgive me my love I stand here all alone and I can see the bottom Promise me you'll try to leave it all behind 'Cause I've elected hell Lying to myself Why have I gone blind ? Live another life You You You You You You
Chris Causey hell nah it ain't! Go listen to some Kendrick Lamar or Mick Jenkins and tell me that it doesn't require skill to make lyrics like that! I understand that its your opinion but you should give REAL hip-hop a try!
